Unprofessional and rude

Extremely unprofessional behaviour from one of the team members called Yasmin Marcham. She misunderstood my email then was very sarcastic and very rude to me. Regardless of how I communicated with her, as a professional manager and recruiter (so she calls herself) she should never speak to anyone in such way. Very childish and unprofessional. Also, she was meant to get back to me regarding my interview process, even if it didn’t progress further like she said she would. Again nothing. Very poor. Would not recommend.

I was offered precise vacancy details by Yasmin Marcham, in a friendly and professional manner. Having submitted further details, Yasmin’s response was quick and the offer of essential interview detail, appropriate. I believe that from initial conversation with Yasmin, to job offer, was exactly one week.
Sovereign & Bale sit at the top of Recruitment Business, in my estimation. I am extremely impressed and totally satisfied.

Yasmin

Yasmin - is amazing and has always offered a professional service that has helped me gain employment on more than one occasion.

She takes the time to support you through every stage of the recruitment process.

My go to advisor when I’m looking for a change.

Yasmin Marcham from Sovereign and Bale

By chance Yasmin came across my CV . She called me and was able to build a good rapport with me very quickly. She was very intuitive about my needs and was able find the right role for me.
She coached me through the pre-interview stage and it felt that I had someone in my corner which you don't normally get from a standard Recruitment agency. I have already referred my colleagues to her and when I am ready to move on she will be getting a call from me.

Great Customer Service!

I would recommend this company to anyone because I feel that this company is head and shoulders above the rest; especially with regards to customer service. I was made to feel at ease; I was made to feel that I was being listened to. This is clear evidence, that the consultant was not only very understanding of my current situation, but was also striving to maintain a strong working relationship.
I was communicated in such a way that I felt very comfortable, especially in the knowledge that this was an agency that have an understanding of the job markets.

The Sovereign and Bale team are great at what they do. They have helped me secure two separate roles over the past years and each time has been as painless as you could hope for. Can't recommend them enough.

I had an excellent experience with Sovereign &Bale. Zak was really supportive with the job search and interview prep. He kept in contact and ensured that I was aware of the next steps. I could not thank him enough. And I appreciate the support I have received from Zak in successfully obtaining my new role.
I have also recommended the company to many of my friends. If I ever required assistance in the future Sovereign & Bale Would be my first choice.

Best service..

It was a great opportunity to work and do business with Sovereign & Bale, but the way that Mr. Zak worked with me was more than a service, he was totally honest and transparent with both parties, and he was that closed to know each detial and understand everything you're looking for..

It was just great, and I really appreciate that.
